2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

“conform”是动词,常用来表示“与…一致”“遵从”,是一个有些难度不过非常常见、实用的词。conform 可以是及物动词也是不及物动词,作不及物动词时后面常接 to 或者 with,我们通过几个例子掌握它的用法。

比如有些人不循规蹈矩,我们就可以说:

He refused to conform to the rules that applied to ordinary men.

生物科学家颜宁因事业有成,生活有趣而走红网络,许多人觉得她和人们想象中的科学家不一样。我们就可以说:

Yan Nieng doesn’t conform to the stereotype of a scientist.

《经济学人》中也经常用到 conform,比如:

2)An election that seemed destined to conform to a predictable script has become much more intriguing.

3. 从认识到会用(作业)

1)翻译下面的句子: 父母希望我们遵守家庭传统。

(参考翻译:Parents expect us to conform to family norms.)

2)结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等,想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景,再造句。

The applicants have to conform to the requirements of the standard, or they will fail to get the certificate.
